i took some pix showing the whole quilt and then a close shot to show detail, so i hope you don't get bored.

this is only a very small sample of what there was. i only had the camera a short time and then it was 'stolen' from me by hubby.

you'll also see some very familiar ones with another interpretation.

everything appliqued is needleturned.

i already lost some. yeesh!

there are a lot. i will tell you when it's done. so without further ado ......


i already lost some. yeesh!!! i'll try to get them back at the end.

Breathtaking. The skill and patience it took to do these are unimaginable. They are beautiful. They are pure art.

this was part of a series of folded fabric quilts - very artistic and wonderful. the ones done in plain muslin were especially nice.

the one that looks like crochet, but isn't, is layers of fussycut fabric cut in sequential circles on top of each other, and then handstitched in large basting stitches around the circles.

very, very creative.

These folded ones have intrigued me for years. They look like
Jennie Rayment's work. She's the queen of folding.

Thanks for posting all the pictures.

they're certainly her style. it must have been a class that was given because many of the entrants were so much alike.

i have her book and it's going on a trip to the u.k. as soon as i get my butt in gear.

Such wonderful works of art. No real words to express how beautiful they are.

k3n 08-23-2011 10:32 PM

Beautiful all - how did my quilt get over there? My neighbour bought it a while back, perhaps he sold it on :mrgreen: :lol:

Jennie Rayment is a love (as we English say) - I saw her at F of Q and she is indeed the queen of folding. :-D

BW thanks for finding a) the quilts and b) the pics and also for posting about the techniques used, I love to know that. :-D
